For us technical people "native" means something different than it does for regular users. It just means they have an app for their platform and not just a web app.
- jbverschoor 1y agoIt's exactly that: just a web app
- dewey 1y agoMost people can not differentiate between a web app in a browser and if an app they start through an icon on their computer is a wrapper around a website. People on HN who care if it’s built with Rust, Swift or an Electron app aren’t really the core audience for most companies.
- ffsm8 1y agoIt's even harder to classify as webapp if the app works offline, as electron apps often do.
